Salt is made up of Sodium and Chloride, both of which are essential nutrients for the dog and cat and need to be in their daily diet. Sodium is involved in the regulation of body fluids and the osmotic balance of these fluids.
Salt is valuable as it can effect taste and help with water intake for proper hydration.
